AIMPROVEMENT IN WATCHMENYS DETECTERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 172,182, dated January1l, 1876; application eld July 2B, 1574.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GUSTAV ADOLPH SCHULTZ, of the city of Louisville, inthe county of Jefferson and in the State of Kentucky, have invented anew and useful Machine, Apparatus, or Instrument known as a WatchmansDetecter or Controller, called Sehultzs Watchmans Detecter;77 and itconsists in a roller, flanged for the purpose speciiied hereafter, andhaving one of its sides marked to forni a dial-plate, said roller beingmounted and arranged with reference to the door and spring-puncher, asset forth and claimed; and I do hereby declare that the following is 'afull and exact description thereof, reference being had to accompanyingdrawings, and letters of reference marked thereon, making the same apart of this specification.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I willproceed to describe its construction and operation as follows, viz:

Figure l shows the side view, and Fig. 2 shows the top or face view, ofmy watchmans detecter.

A, Figs. l and 2, represents the case of any connnon clock; F, Fig. l,the hour-wheel ofthe clock; I, Figs. 1 and 2, the extension ot' thehour-wheel; B, Figs. 1 and 2, my dial roller or wheel; B, Fig. 2, showsthe dial side-z'. e.,the top or face side of the dial-roller. The underor lower side is plain. The dial-roller B, Fig. l, has ilanges K K on`the top and bottom edges to keep a strip of paper between. One end ofthe paper is first pressed down on the two small pins or points L L,between the flanges K K, passing between the flanges, round thedial-roller, and the'other end is pressed down over the pins L L overthe first end. .N

The dial-roller B, Fig. l, has a space, M, all around its circumferenceor edge O, to allow the needle, pin, or point C to pass into through`the paper on dial-roller.

The dial-roller B, Fig. l, is attached to I, the extension of thehour-wheel F, ot' any common clock, of which A represents the oase, andthe dial-roller B revolves like the clocks hour-hand.

G, Figs. l and 2, represents the door or clock-case, or any objectthrough which the puncher, pusher, or needle E and C passes. H, Figs. land 2, represents a plate, 0r the hole for a key to pass to the puncheror needle E, or through which the puncher or needle E passes to beoperated on. E, Figs. 1 and 2, is the puncher, pusher, or needle, with apin or sharp point, C, at its interior end.

When the puncher or needle E is pressed upon it drives the pin or sharppoint O into the paper on the dial-roller B.

.The puncher or needle E and `the pin or sharp point C may be of twoseparate parts, or of one piece.

D, Figs. l and 2, is a spring, to enable the puncher or needle E and Oto return to its original position after being operated, ready to beused again. The spring D can be worked so as to contract or extend whenused. N, Figs. l and 2, is a stop on the puncher E. I), Figs. 1 and 2,is a regulator and fastener for the puncher E, to regulate the puncherE, and to fasten the puncher E to the door, or to the cloclrcase, or toany object to which the watchmans detecter is attached.

By the relative position to the figures on the face of the dial-roller Bof the holes or impressions made in the paper on the dialroller B by thepin or point C of the puncher E while the clock is revolving, thedial-roller B will show the hour when made, and the number of holes orimpressions in the paper so made will show how many times the instrumenthas been used.

The hour of the day is shown by the relative position of the pin orpoint C of the puncher E to the gures on the dial-roller B, while theclock revolves the dial-roller B.

My dial-roller and my puncher-1l. e., my watchmans detectercan be madeof any kind of hard metal or material.

I am aware that, broadly, it is not new to use a dial in connection witha registering de- 2 'Y e #12.182 w vice to detect the absence of eWatchman, and I do not, therefore, broadly claim such device; but, v

Having thus fully described my invention, what I do claim, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

In a Watchmaus detecter, applied to door G, with spring-puricher,arranged as shown, the dial-roller B, flanged and adapted to receive astrip in space M, and/having one side markedto constitute a dial-plate,substantially as specified, and arranged upon shaft I of the hour-hand,as set forth.
